Video Games

Video games have had the reputation to influence the users and make them violent. Being a active violent video game player i find this offensive, the most violent thing that a video game has ever influenced me to do is the occasional throw down of a controller with the always releaving F bomb drop when a level kicks my ass. The critics like to rely with the argument of an inncident where a young boy was ingulffed in an intense R.P.G. " role play game" where the kid committed suicide after his player hes put together for several years died. what the critics dont say is how besides the kid playing the video game he was also mistaking his anti depressants along with trapping himself in a single bedroom appt alone for 2 years where the family has a known history of depressed males and suicide cases. Most if not all males at this campus here at fort lewis along with about every other college in the nation if handed a controller of any kind is able to weild it as though they were born with the technique. Not only do all know how to use it but all also have a knowledge of the better video games that most of the time turn out to be the one being talked about on the news as being too violent, bloodly, or are equipped with the annoying M on the box to ensure that only adults 18 year of age or older can play it. I feel that that is unnessacary, last year i was constantly around a 10 year old boy who during his free time spent all hours of a screen cunning through las vegas killing every terrorist that came into sight and saw no change in his judgement of not being able to tell the difference of the game and reality. Something as meaningless as a videogame should not be ginen the rumor of having the power to change a persons character to commit a crime.
